Dear Editor:

It was with a sense of great sadness and loss that I learned of the passing of Lemuel L. Brown. He was both an outstanding surveyor and an exceptional person. Behind his quiet, unassuming presence was a kind heart, a sharp mind and a keen sense of humor.

His gentle spirit touched the lives of those whose paths he crossed. He was a truly good man with a compassionate concern for others. I am grateful to have known him not only as a surveyor but also as a friend.
